What owners wrote
I was in an accident and the air bags did not deploy. My children and I were injured. I serviced my car at nissan for the airbag recall twice. I received a recall from NHTSA and nissan wouldn't comply. Every time I've taken my car for the brake pads to be serviced I only need rotors never brake pads! The driver side door handle broke for no reason what so ever this car is a clunker!
Factory lighting is dim, cannot see at night. The projection is not strong enough for nyc night time. I need to use high beams and those arent even that good. It is not the light bulb
